[FIXED] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:3.0.0, cant connect to server

Issue

I'm trying to run a server on my laptop and connect to it from my desktop But every time I get the following error, but if I dig deeper I see Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect" The client does not run if the server is not running. I tried running the client and the server both on the same computer and it works. I tried pinging the computers from one another and it works. I wonder what am I doing wrong? I'm using Maven.

Solution

I solved this by using clientSocket= new Socket("MY IP", "MY PORT"); "MY IP" will be inserted as string "MY PORT" will be inserted as an int\

instead of clientSocket= new Socket(host, port);
